Hasselblad SWC + Biogon 38mm f/4.5 + Magazzino A24 + Mirino

Hasselblad SWC is a super-wide-angle medium-format film camera from the Hasselblad V system, designed for architectural photography, landscape, interiors, reportage, and shooting situations where a wide field of view is required with a square 6x6 format. The camera body uses 120 or 220 film through compatible interchangeable Hasselblad magazines and is distinguished by its fixed Carl Zeiss Biogon 38mm f/4.5 lens, which is not removable and was specifically designed for this camera. The 38 mm focal length on 6x6 format provides a diagonal angle of view of approximately 90°, equivalent to a super-wide-angle lens in 35 mm format, with rectilinear rendering suitable for architectural lines and interior spaces. Unlike traditional Hasselblad V reflex cameras, the SWC does not use a reflex mirror and is operated with an external optical viewfinder, while focusing is manual through the distance scale on the lens. The built-in Synchro-Compur leaf shutter provides mechanical shutter speeds up to 1/500 s, plus Bulb mode, with flash synchronization available at all speeds. The system accepts dedicated Hasselblad accessories, film magazines, compatible backs, and specific filters depending on the lens version. Hasselblad SWC is now a historical and collectible camera, valued for its compact design, Biogon optical quality, and essential operating approach. As a vintage product, lens condition, shutter accuracy, film magazine operation, viewfinder clarity, correct film advance, and the overall condition of the body should be checked carefully before use or purchase.
